Re: glasses wearers
Guarder C2 glasses fit great over normal glasses, my friends and brother use them without a problem :D
The are about £25 if you look in the right places... Z1 sell them too

Re: glasses wearers
having 2 sets of lenses infront of your eyes ,doubles your chance of fogging up one of them up .Mesh has better air flow ,but is not as good in low light .Some say mesh is not safe due to the chance of shattering bbs ,but as a wearer of mesh for 10 years, among other mesh wearing players .I've seen 2 cases of this happening, and the result was .The fragments were so small, and came through with such little force .It was the equivilent of having one of those little black flies go in your eye. Certainly uncomfortable ,but not in the slightest dammaging.

Re: glasses wearers
i been using ESS ICE glasses for about a month now and i love them. there that comfterble that i sometimes crap myself mid-game cuz i forget im wearing them. anyway to the point i believe that because the lenses are inter-changable u can get perscription lenses easly
it might cost more to do it this way but honestly glasses+goggles is a BAD idea in my opinion ( it will be like playing in a steam room within 10minz, even on a cold day, )

Re: glasses wearers
I use the £2.99 safety glasses (the ones with vents in the side) you get from DIY shops as they are tested to the same standard as regular airsoft glasses and will take a sniper BB shot at point blank range with ease.

Re: glasses wearers
I wear contacts while playing.
No extra lenses to fog up and a much better field of vision.

Re: glasses wearers
I used to wear ESS googles but they steamed up like crazy! So I looked into alternatives and ended up buying a pair of ESS ICE glasses with prescription inserts. Cost about £30 for the prescription lenses and £50 for the ESS glasses. Tried them out the other week and there was no fogging whatsoever! :D

This, I use glasses and they are bloody amazing. Specsavers stick in the insert for you and you only need a bog standard lenses for them as the outer safety lenses you can change to suit the sunlight.
"Rx Lens Carrier for ICE/Profile NVG, Wire" is the best insert to get as it takes up largest view area. Then ofc the ESS ICE 2.4 Eyeshield. May be a bit too expensive for you but it's by far the best money I have spent in Airsoft.

Re: glasses wearers
I wear the King arms shooting glasses from Z1 over my regular glasses. Looks a bit rubbish but it works.

With my "milk bottle" prescription quite a lot. I'll risk a flaming from my fellow mods but I don't think this trader is competition:

My latest pair cost £100 including delivery, Polycarbonate lenses (essential) and anti reflective coating.
